    The outside
    Robert C.

    The staff was really pleasant! We arrived before they were open, and they came outside greeted us and told us they were opening soon. The food, was OUTSTANDING! We got the sampler platter, for two and was very pleased with the portion and the taste was excellent! Definitely get this down your neck!

    I may have found a new favorite BBQ restaurant in KC!!! I seen the reviews were good and when we pulled up, there were already a few people inside & many more were coming in while we were . Order at the register and food is ready in about 10-15 minutes. I ordered a quarter pound of pulled pork and burnt ends entrée that came with baked beans. That was enough for two people to share. The pulled pork has a lot of flavor and it's juicy super yummy. The burnt ends were the same and not very fatty. Beans were a little sweet. My friend ordered the brisket and said it is super tender like prime rib!!

    Took me and my husband far too long to finally stop in and try!! Everything about our experience was awesome. Everyone was so kind, service was good, and our food was great! Their margs seemed different than most margaritas to me; I'm not sure what it is about them here, but I really liked them ! Enjoyed this spot for sure - we will definitely be back !!

    Burnt ends meal

    As someone who loves KC bbq and also smokes their own meats at home, I may have came into this with higher expectations than I should have. Our office ordered food to-go for lunch, and it was good but definitely doesnt compete with other local joints here for me. I will give them the benefit of the doubt on having it to go, and try it out again though. The price for the portions just seems like not alot of bbq, it was like $23 for 5 burnt ends with 2 sides. The burnt ends were great flavor wise, and the fries were good. BBQ sauce was just okay, a little too sweet for me, the "hot" bbq didnt have any sort of kick to it. The Cheesy hashbrowns were really good!

    So we stopped in here as we always are looking for bbq and wow did we hit it good , I've reviewed a lot of ribs in the USA and these were the most fall off spare ribs I've had , I even got a chance to talk with the owner and compliment him see pics , he brought out a jumbo wing which hardly anyone does any more , three step process I tell you what wow that was the best wing I've had no kidding !! Then to top it off he brought out a cookie chocolate chunk butterscotch multi recipe . They were a million dollar cookie! Great people great place clean comfortable 100 stars good job ! Just one little thing I would suggest I'm a sweet bbq sauce person if you could make some .

    Chopped brisket sandwich, onion rings
    Christy P.

    The restaurant was slammed when we got here and we still had our food within 10 minutes. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the food was outstanding! We both had the chopped brisket sandwich, which was juicy and tender. My husband had the onion rings and they were perfectly dipped and fried. We can't wait to come back to try more!

    sliced brisket sandwich
    Michael B.

    ok i'll start with the good. The space is new so it's nice & clean. The staff is very friendly. The sauces are good but on the sweet side, but the so-called "spicy" is not even remotely spicy The french fries are good but that's not why anyone is going to a BBQ place. The BBQ itself is awful. i mean truly it's bad. The staff is so nice that I want the food to be good but it's objectively terrible. I went twice thinking the first time was an "off" day. Nope. It was worse the second time. Sliced brisket sandwich on trip one & burnt ends on trip two. Both were among the worst I've ever had but the burnt ends were an actual abomination. The burnt ends had zero bark & i have a hard time believing they were ever in an actual smoker. I don't mind fatty BBQ if it's good, but these were fatty in a terrible way & actually tasted like propane. As if they were cooked in an oven. To even call them burnt ends is sacrilegious. As i mentioned the brisket wasn't much better. Zero hint of smoke, no bark, no flavor. It just tasted kind of like no very good roast beef. How this place is getting such good reviews is beyond me. I have no idea what kind of smoker or wood they are allegedly using, but when you park outside there is no hint of bbq smoke or smell. That's a bad sign. I actually hate giving negative reviews, but this gives KC BBQ a bad name. I'll give it one star for a friendly staff & environment

    Two sauces.

    The front door is a little challenge to discern. There are two doors and the main one is not marked well. The restaurant is very clean. The staff is friendly. You can tell they care. The Bbq is "off the hook." I got the rib combo plate with two pork ribs, burnt ends and beans. The rib meat fell off the bone. The burnt ends were juicy, beefy goodness. It all could of had a little more smoke flavor. The two sauces were nice and flavorful. The beans are ok. I give the Bbq and the service 4 stars. The value is 3 stars. I paid around $30 for lunch and still left a little hungry. They should add one more rib bone and couple more pieces of burnt ends. I would go back. I am hesitant about spending that kind of money and still be hungry.

    If you're looking for a legitimately delicious deli, look no further--this place is the real deal!…read more​The restaurant has a wonderfully quaint vibe, with a few tables inside and several benches outside to sit back and enjoy the food. What really stood out right away was the service. The lady taking our orders was incredibly nice and personable, and she actually took the time to walk us through the menu to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. ​I went with the #5, which is their version of a Sicilian Muffuletta. It was phenomenal. It's stacked with mortadella, salami, provolone, ham, and Swiss cheese, topped perfectly with a red wine vinaigrette chopped olive salad, all sitting on a beautifully toasted seeded loaf. ​One of my friends ordered the #20 Reuben, and it was a masterpiece. We're talking melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu corned beef, legit sauerkraut from Brooklyn, house-made Russian dressing, and melty Swiss, all piled high between two buttery, toasted slices of marble rye bread. ​Naturally, I also grabbed a couple of their homemade chocolate chip cookies, and we got a raspberry and blueberry tiramisu that was absolutely terrific. You just can't leave a place like this without hitting the dessert menu! ​I consider myself very lucky to have experienced this spot. Honestly, if I lived in the area, I'd probably gain 50 lbs--and it would be worth every single ounce!

They have indoor seating and a outdoor patio, plus convenient to-go options. We're excited to return and try more from their menu, including various delicious sandwiches and Italian sausage. The market area was a nice surprise, filled with take-home meal options that promise the same high quality and authentic flavors. I can't wait to return for more! I also love that they offer gluten-free options to purchase for take home as well as to eat in the store or to go. The employee did mention to call ahead to make sure that they have gluten-free bread if you're looking for a sandwich.

It is in a small corner of North Kansas City and looks like a simple little supermarket with an Italian deli inside but the food here is really outstanding!!! They sell authentic Italian food like Italian sandwiches, pizzas, strombolis and moreeee. It was 100% worth the drive from South Overland Park and I am already thinking when I can go again. We went for lunch and ordered the Italian beef sandwich and the Angry Capone pizza. Both were really good and we did not expect it to be this tasty. The Italian beef was cooked perfectly and was tender at every bite with the right amount of cheese and spicy peppers. The pizza was even better!! It had a nice crispy base and was full of good toppings like Italian beef, smashed meatballs, pepperoni, lots of cheese and spicy peppers. I love spicy food so I really enjoyed it. Everything was hot, cheesy, a little spicy and very flavorful. If I have to choose between the two , I would pick the pizza over the sandwich. The supermarket part is also very well kept and offers wide variety of options to buy ranging from groceries to fresh flowers/herbs . Along with the Deli, they also sell homemade barbecue slabs, burnt ends, local Amish food, frozen pizzas, desserts like chocolate cake and vanilla cake, and also dishes like meatballs spaghetti, pasta and many many more fresh frozen grab and go dishes. There are only two tables outside so it is a small and simple set up. I enjoyed my time here and I think you will too 5/5!

The pick-up is so quick and easy - just order online, pop-in, and grab your order off the shelves to the left of the entry door. You can't go wrong with the food here from girl breakfast, to the plain + simple breakfast sandwich, to the pepperjack burrito, to the market bowl, lunch menu and their many many mouthwatering pastries. And don't forget about the coffee! They have both real mugs and to-go cups. I love their regular drip coffee, cold brew, cappuccinos and lattes. The cafe's interior design is modern, chic and comfortable with a mix of booth and table seating. I can usually find a seat for 2-4 people, groups larger than that may have a hard time finding a seat during peak times like weekend mornings. Seasonally, McLain's offers outdoor seating, too. Best of all, the staff makes you feel right at home - welcoming, friendly, helpful, hardworking and clean. Parking is angled street parking out front. Sometimes I have to walk a bit but never more than a block. Just writing this has me craving McLain's already.

    Bay Boy is THAT Boy! I'm thrilled to have another location of Bay Boy in the Northland, which is…read moresuch an up and coming neighborhood. This Bay Boy is a small window located inside The Commons which is connected to Cinderblock Brewery but, don't be fooled by its small stature it still carries the full menu of the West Plaza location. The one thing it boasts is you can grab a brew from with The Commons bar or from Cinderblock while your sandwich is crafted. And don't fret because these sandwiches are well worth any wait they may take! What makes Bay Boy utterly unforgettable is the Dutch crunch bread. This unique crackly slightly crunchy but still, oh so pillowy soft bread is the perfect vessel to hold all the fillings of any of the sandwiches on the extensive menu. My number one recommendation sadly is not always on the menu but if you catch it you better order it! It is called The Blue Blaze and it consists of juicy white meat turkey, peppery arugula, melty mild white cheddar and locally sourced spicy blueberry jam. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory with a kick. Another winner is the Wagyu Nebraskan if you want a bougie take on a Rueben. The Wagyu corned beef is locally sourced and is melt in your mouth paired with a slightly sweet kraut, nutty Swiss cheese and the tangy thousand island this sandwich is an elevated take on a classic. Another winner, well let's just face it any sandwich at Bay Boy is a winner winner chicken dinner (in the words of the iconic Guy Fieri), but let's focus on another rift of a classic sandwich the El Jefe. This is Bay Boy's take on a Cubano but unlike its predecessor the bread isn't flat or pressed it's on a Dutch crunch roll like every sandwich on the menu. The mojo pork is buttery and fatty- in a good way- making the meat so moist that combined with salty ham, melted Swiss and zingy briny pickles makes for a killer combination. Don't forget the mustard! And how Bay Boy makes it there own is with an addition of a zesty vibrant red pepper sauce. You can't help but to love El Jefe. I could go on and on about how each sandwich is unparalleled but, I'll just bore you with one more...The Bay Boy, I couldn't cover Bay Boy's without mentioning the sandwich that the restaurant was named after (or was it the other way around) anyways it doesn't matter. The Bay Boy is a cold sandwich (unlike the other ones I mentioned which are all toasty) which may sound simple but, the medley of flavors is paired down perfection. No pile of meats just stand alone Soppressata which shouldn't need any introduction because it's the superior salami. This sandwich gets sauced down with not one, not two but four sauces that make the sandwich anything but dry. Classic mayo and mustard are alongside a creamy pungent garlic sauce and a red pepper sauce, which is a mix of cherry and banana peppers. Then produce is added for freshness, think lettuce, tomato and zippy raw red onions (my personal favorite) with pickles of course! This truly is a sandwich masterpiece.

    Finally made it over to Bay Boy in North Kansas City inside the Commons and yeah... I get why…read morepeople keep talking about it. It's a walk-up window, super lowkey, but the food is not playing. I got a turkey sandwich with gouda and peppers, added blueberry jam, and grabbed a bag of chips on the side. The bread is really what sets it off. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle, and it actually holds everything together. The turkey and gouda were solid, peppers gave it a little bite, and that blueberry jam added just enough sweetness to balance everything out without being weird about it. I paused after the first bite because it caught me off guard in a good way. Finished the whole thing, chips and all. Simple setup, really good food, and I'll absolutely be back.
